There is a bunch of these little organisms that kind of reminds me of a snail or a slug, They are quite small, I tried figuring out what they were online and I can’t find anything on them. They have a tail with two tips and look to be moving vary slowly.

Flatworms, they're really annoying. You can use wrasses, mandarins, flatworm exit and or a mixture of both.
They're not "Bad" but extremely prolific and they can eventually smother coral with a high enough concentration

Flatworms. They are super common but multiply like crazy. Flatworm exit is the best way to go if you have a large population. A few wrasses will help control them but doesn't completely annihilate them

looks like a white one - not harmful but can be nuisance if population explode. usually self-regulates in a properly maintained tank.
